BUTTERFLY GIRL

My background has been coloured with the Dylusions ink sprays, I love the bright colour palette.

I stamped the butterfly girl onto white card and then stamped once again onto the Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante paper. The paper determined the colours I used in my background. For added dimension I have included a brass heart along with dream Chitchat sticker.

I stamped the Bubble Wrap image in the background with black Archival Ink adding a few white highlights to lift the image a little. I cut two hearts from white card using the Mini Hearts die again colouring with the ink sprays, adding some faux stitching to the outside edge. "If I had wings....." is from Sam Poole's Art Sayings stamp set. For a little more interest I added a few splatters using the picket fence Distress Stain.

I love the heart image from the Butterfly Girl stamp set which I added to the bottom of my tag representing flowers, again adding a few white highlights with a white pen. I also added dimension to a couple of the hearts stamping the image onto the Graphic 45 paper to match her dress.

The small dotty stamp is also from the Butterfly Girl set, I love this background image its a great filler as I refer to them, again I have added white highlights with my white pen.

It was great to use a little colour for a change and it's good to work outside your comfort zone now and then and this creation made me realise I need to use more colour more often, its great fun.

I love the bubblewrap stamp for the background, the heart flowers, the girl stamp and the sayings. The dylusion colours work really well, I love thevway you have used white highlighter. Brilliant piece as usual Tracy! x
